sel—we only wish them to have the - option of employ - hug theM if they choose.. In Scotland, where Counsel are allowed to plead, we have never heard of their assistance being declined ; and we 'strongly suspect that such would be the case in England. In our Paper of yesterday we inserted the letter from Mr. PEEL, dated the 20th instant, to the Mayor of MACCLESFIELD,' communicating MAJESTY'S munificent donation of 10001., in aid of the Subscrip tions which. have been already entered into for the relief of the unemployed and distressed poor of that place. The king has so frequently given proofs of the benevolent feelings which exist in his Royal bosom, and influence all his actions, that he has justly entitled him self to the endearing appellation of Father of his People. His' MAJESTY'S discrimination of the ob jects to which his bounty might properly be extended, has also been so frequently evinced, that it is not sur- Orising that the distress at present existing in Maccles field and its'neighbourhood, should have attracted his notice, and that he should have availed himself of another opportunity of extending his charity. We by no means approve in the abstract of subscriptions for the working classes, as the general tendency of such measures is necessarily to produce in those orders a irofligate expenditure when they have, the means of earninglarge wages, and a degree of. inattention to their` prospective interests, which leads to effects most injurious and dangerous to society. But, although convinced of the evil results of subscriptions of k general nature, indiscriminately undertaken for the lower • classes, we confess that circum stances and occasions may arise, when such sub scriptions are not only necessary for the immediate re lief of urgent distress, but may in .their consequences be productive of much good ; and from all we have heard of the extent and urgency of the distress at Macclesfield, we believe that they are of such a na ture AS to justify the recourse which has been had to the measure before stated. The circumstances which have involved the neighbourhood in distress, and the quiet, orderly, and submissive manner in which the people have borne their sudden reverse of prosperity, Tully entitle them to the commiseration, sympathy, and stlpport of every considerate person. We hope, there; fore, that the "gracious • example . of HIS MAJESTY may be followed by, all Alioc who have the means of contributing towards the relief of unexampled distress/ borne with the most becoming patience. THE FUNDS. The transactions in the Funds continued on a very limited scale till the close of bniiness last night, when Consols for the Account'were 791. The, Receipts foe the New Scrip 'were not delivered, but they bore a premium of about per cent. City, 12 o'clock this day. In consequence of its being a close holiday to-day at the Bank, Stock Exchange, and Foreign Market, most of the. Brokers and Jobers have assembled on the Royal Exchange; but up to the present time no business worth mentioning has been transacted. Con gots may be quoted nominally at nil, for the Ac count—Mexicans have been done at 65, buyers ; ColoMbia at 45. One o' Clock. Within this hour the assemblage of brokers and jobbers have encreased on the Royal Exchange, and a good deal'has been doing in South American' securi ties, which lia've risen in consequence of a report that the Pyramus frigate had arrived from Vera Cruz with .4 great quantity of dollars on board from the Mexican Government, to pay the dividends. Consols have . been entirely neglected this morning, and scarce a bar gain doing. Accounts. this morning state that the corvette Bolivar, going to the United States with offi cers on board for the ships purchased by he Colombian . Government .there, has been captured by two Spanish frigates. Consols are up to the present time 791 1; for the Account nothing doing ; Mexican, 65. ; Colombian, 43 t; 1 Scrip, - 1 7 ; Peruvian, 31. City, two o'clock. A considerable number of the Jobbers in Foreign Securities assembled- on Change ; and Mexican Stock has been done at sixty-six, being one and one-half per Cent. rise eince our quotation of yesterday. The reason given for this alteratio n is, that a ship has been spoken with, homeward bound, containing a large remittance of dollars from the Mexican Government, and consigned to its Agent here ;-:-Mexican Stock (two o'clock) 6.51 ; Colombian , Bonds have been done at 44, and may now be quoted at 43i. In Consols, there LS nothing doing. The price is 7911. His IVIAJSTY, it is understood, will not come to town to, day, nor is it now certain that he will to morrow. An Evening Paper of yest er d a y, i n commun i cating intellige nce f rom Windsor of the movements of the King, informs its readers, "That his **sty this afternoon, soon after four o'clock, ar " rived in two phaetons, drawn by ponies. at the Castle from the " Royal Lodge." • • • • The s ame orac l e ' goes on to state that " A number of spectators from 'Windsor, as well as visitors, " were attracted to see his Majesty,'' The correct and elegant diction of these two articles entitles them to notice in all Other newspapers, for our contempQra has certainly improved upon the Royal Usage o f t h e plural number, by exttncling it to th e two phaeto ns ." The idea is quite new. • young woman, of Havannah, aged seventeen, in a nt of jealousy and revenge, finding her lover in com pany, with another woman, killed them both on the • THE KING'S BIRTH-DAY. Yesterday his Majesty's Birth-day was celebrated with the cos , tornat7-rejoicings and festivity. The morning of St. George's Day was ushered in by the report of guns and the ringing of bells. It was a holiday at the public offices, and the flag of Eng ' land waved from the summit of every public building in the Me tropolis. . A beautiful view from Waterloo Bridge was presented to the eye. Nearly 100 flags were to be seen floating in the wind. Surrey in its show of loyalty made an humble attempt to vie with Middlesex. The beautiful pillar on the Surrey side of Waterloo Bridge, which has been erected for a shOt- manufac tory, had a magnificent appearance. The stone cross at its highest elevation being surmounted by the standard of Eng land, gave a finished appearance to the noble structure. The military for the different guards appeared on the Parade in St. James's Park, in new clothing; the King's Guard, being composed of Grenadiers, under the command of the Hon. Colonel Townsend, the Field Officer in Waiting. ,The bands of the three regiments of Foot Guards attended on this occasion in their full state uniforms, and marched up to the Palace with the King's Guard, preceded by the three head Drum-Majors of the three Regiments, in their full state regimentals. The novelty of having the three Bands assembled in the Palace-yard at the same time, induced the Colonel to detain them nearly an hour after the Guard had been relieved, to play for his gratification and that of some friends. The Park and Tower guns fired a double Royal Salute at one *look. The following were among the official dinners given upon the occaYion The Earl of Liverpool, to a number of Noblemen and Gentle men connected with him in the Treasury. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, to Sir George Hill, the Chairman and Commissioners of the Boards of Excise and Cus toms, and other official Gentlemen.

The Groom of the Stole to the Lords and Groom in attendance upon his Majesty. The Master of the Horse, to the Equerries and Aides-de-Camp belonging to Ole - MAIL CO NCHES. The 3lail COach Contractors assembled at Mr. Vidl,-‘'s, ;11illbank.row, .where they were regaled with a sumptout cull collation. On the " King's health" being drank, the guardi f the different mails played " Ocal save the King" on their keyed bugles. The coachmen and guards, in their. new cloth ing, were also regaled with a dinner; after which they went on a grass plat, at the back , of the house, and drank the King's health, 'and success to th'e wheels. Ihe coaches were all new, with new hammereloths. The harness for the horses was also principally new ; that for the Gloucester horses was very superior, having the Royal Arens. &c. on it. The Bristol sported some remarkably fine uniform gr; ys. The Portsmouth had remarkably fine horses, but they were all odd. The Edinburgh had a very pod set-out of bays. The Gloucester had a 'novel and remarkably fine matched s•t of piebalds. About live o'clock they started from the manu factory in procession, in the following order : Mail Coacher. Inns they go from.

The Tradesmen' of his Majesty also manifested, in a convivial spirit, their duty and loyalty to their Royal Patron, and enter tained their friends on a suitable scale.

THE KING. The King's health continues , to improve daily. It was sufficiently re-established on Friday to permit him to dine with the party at the Royal Lodge--the first day he has honoured the Members of his Household with his company at table since' the marriage of Lord and Lady Strathaven. Sir CharleS Ling dined with his Majesty, who was in excellent spirits, and played a round' of whist in the evening,as he usually does when in health. On S a t ur d a y the Marquess of Conyng ham left the Royal Lodge preparatory to a grand en tertainment which he gave in honour of the King's Birth-day. The Duke of Montrose and the Duke of Dorset, the principal Officers of the Household, also had - late dinner parties yesterday at their respective residences in town, in celebration of the day. COURT CIRCULAR. Yesterday morning several of the King's Household arrived in town from the Royal Lodge, Windsor-park, and - several of his Majesty's horses were brought to London, previous to the King's expected arrival on Wednesday (to-morrow). Sunday morning, early the Duke of York left town for Newmarket. On Sunday Prince Leopold gave another grand and numerous dinner party. Among the company were the Duchess of Kent, the Princess Feodore, the Duke of Somerset, the Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdown, the Marquis and Marchioness of Salis bury, the Dowager Marchioness of Salisbury, the Marquis anti Marchioness of Clanricarde, Mr. Secre tary Canning, Earl and Countess Vernlam, Earl and Countess Darnley, and Lord and Lady Burghersh. The Duke of Clarence arrived in town yesterday, from his seat at Bushy. His Royal Highness re turned to` Bushy about four o'clock. Dispatches were sent off on Friday night for the Duke of Wellington, to meet his Grace at Brussels. Yesterday the Duke of Devonshire had a long in terview with Mr. Secretary Canning, at the Foreign Office. Yesterday . afternoon, at three o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, summonses for which were issued on Saturday. The Council was attended by the. Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Liver pool, the Earl of Harrowby, the Earl of Westmorland, Viscount Melville, Mr. Huskisson, Mr. Peel, Mr. Canning, Earl Bathurst, the' Chancellor of the Ex chequer, Mr. Wynn, and Lord Bexley. The Cabi net continued sitting tilt nearly half-past four o'clock, when the Ministers separated. GENERAL ELECTION. The Lord Mayor, at a meeting of his Committee yesterday, upon which occasion John Smith, Esq : , M.P., was in the chair, made the following communi cation, which it was resolved unanimously should be entered on the minutes. After adverting to the wish he had expressed upon a fonner occasion, to address them on the question of Catholic Emancipation, but which .was. thee, judged inexpedient, he , said—" Firmly attached as am to the great principles of religious liberty, it is impossible that I can look with satisfaction on the present state . of Ireland, or forbear wishing, that with perfect safety . to those interests which are most dear to us as Protest antsi. something, might be done towards giving to the people of that country the common right of all. Ba lievmg, however, the Roman Catholic religion to be the most powerful engine ever saw in re tarding the civil, moral, and religious iMprovement of Mankind, and that our best interests are inseparably identified with the prosperity and permanence of the Protestant church, I shall consider it one of my first' .duties to guard from the •pos'eibility, of danger that which I consider most essential to the. general good. .But while I feel with equal sineerity attachment to the one and aversion to .the. other, and can hardly. •sup pose any thing more disastrons to this country and to the world; than an increased 'spread of the Roman Ca tholiereligion, I Would rather Seek to repress the one and encourage the other by : the diffusion of. sound knowledge, than by arty civil disqualification ' not founded on . paramount public necessity. Entertain ing this opinion, it is my resolution, should I, by the powerful exertions you. are making in my behalf, (for which I take this opportunity of returning you my best thanks) be returned as one of the representatives of the city, to enter the House of Commons un shackled by any previous. engagements on this subject; except that I shall ever most anxiously desire to recon cile those principles alike most important to us as Englishmen—namely, perfect security to the Pro testant religion, and an equal enjoyment of civil and religious rights by-all his Majesty's subjects." The communication-was received with the greatest satisfaction. Lord Howick has left his three.opponents, Messrs. Bell, Beaumount, and Liddell, carrying On an active canvass in Northumberland, and gone to town to pay his respects to the freeholders resident in London.— (Newcastle Paper.) A considerable sensation has been excited amongst the electioneering parties in this town, in consequence of its being made known that Mr. Borrocks will not again offer himself as a candidate for the representa tion of • this borough in Parliament.—(Preston Chronicle.) . Mr. Protheroe . arrived in Evesham on Tuesday, and immediately proceeded to canvass the electors, and Sir C. Cockerell and Sir W. E. R. Boughton are expected to enter npon their canvass forthwith.-- ( Worcester Herald.) Mr. Maberly has canvassed the borough of Abing don, and it is expected will be returned for the third time without opposition.. COUNTY or CARiOW.-- , lt seems, after all, that Mr. Kavanagh is a friend to emancipation. Well, then, in the name of common sense, why did he .not say so, or why did not his friends say it for him.' To, Colonel Lochfort, who moved his nomination, to Mr,. Lidwell, to Mr. Baggot, of Castlebaggot, he might have told, his intention ; but was it treating the County well to keep his intentions secret from them ? TOWN OF DROOREDA. — SOIIIe of the electors of this town have an intention, we understand, of putting Mr. Cobbett in nomination for he town of Drogheda. We should certainly like to see Mr. Cobbett in Par liament ; but knowing what we do know, of the free and independent electors of Drogheda, and remem bering the efforts of Mr. Wallace, we doubt whether it would be prudent of Mr. Cobbett's f:iends to risk the money they have collected in a contested election for this town.---(Drogheda Journal.) COUNTY CLARE.--Mr. Vandeleur goes on with his canvass ; but he has refused to pledge hi mse lf to abide an election until be can distinctly see his way. It. A. Slaney, Esq. has announced his intention of becoming a candidate for the representation of Shrews bury, in Parliament at the next General Election, LAW INTELLIGENCE, VICE-CHANCERY.--(Tuts DAY: mucwawlTT C. STOYELD. In this case, argued yesterday, his HoNons, declared his opinion to be, that the defendant was not entitled to relief on his petition of rehearing. The plaintiff was entitled, to a specific performance of agreement with regard to all the timber cut in the course of 1821, hilt not beyond that time ; and the defendant bad no right to, complain that he had not been allowed to remove all the timber cut before he was called upon to pay for it, because it was his own fault that that was so, inasmuch as by the original agree ment he was bound to have executed a mortgage to the plaintiff, which he subsequently refused to do.—The deposit was ordered to be returned to the plaintiff, Mr. Arkwright. COURT OF CHANCERY-(THIS DAY.) • NEW COURTS. After hi; LOILDSMP took his seat, he observed that he felt a great draft. which led to an inquiry whether any alterations had been attempted since the Court last sat, and it turned out that cur •tains running across one of the doors had been removed. His Lin-4,414) then directed a message to be sent off to the person, who, ever he wag, that had taken them away, to „bring them back forthwith. Mr. HORNS said, every body in Court .was exposed to the .most dangerous drafts ; he had got a violent ileurnatistn in his cheek in consequence of it. - ' • His Loansme said, there were some persons about the Court who were continually taking upon themselves authority to give orders of different kinds, and out of Court it was represented those orders were made by the Judge, though he never once heard of them until they were put into execution. It had been stated that he . had given an order to exclude a certain class of persons (reporters) from attending this Court, but a more unfounded statement had never been made. Who took upon themselves to circulate that it had even..entered into 116 head to make such an order, he did not know, but nothing could possibly have been more false. Mr. Atian had certainly given some orders, thinking no one better calculated to do so than himself would step forward to do it, but it would be very desirable if his Lordship would devote half an hour to point out improvements. His LORDSHIP had no objection whatever to take an early op portunity in assisting to suggest anything calculated to improve a place standing so much in need of it ; but he certainly wished the pnblic should not understand that the orders made, adding to the want of comfort, flowed from him. When he was first con sulted respecting the Court he understood there was to be a large table and round space in the middle of the Court for general ac commodation, and to continue a library for the use of the bar, and he took it was to have been so until the very moment he saw, it was otherwise. Mr. Holm?. said, it was altogether a mast inconvenient place —there was no eonsultation-room attached to it. The Gentlemen in the Court of King's Bench had taken precious good care of themselves, for they had provided themselves with a spacious and most commodious room, as a consultation-room, over the Court, as well as a robing-room. . His LORDSIIIP quite agreed with Mr. Horne as to the inconve nience to the Gentlemen at the Bar; but he could recollect that when he had the happiness and comfort of being at the bar, which he sincerely wished he had never left, it was always thought, there was a consultation-room attached to the Court, it was best for suitors to have consultations at Chambers at some of the Inns; Court consultations were never good thinks. Mr. Ania said the wide passages on both aides of the Court, unnecessarily took up a great space, which would have to be altered. His LORDSHIP intimated dist between the Terms exertions would have to be made to remedy the inconveniences as much as This being an Appeal Day the Court went on the Appeal Paper. , • COITItT OF KING'S Day.) When the LORD CM& Junto: toOk,his seat, Mr. Ricbard stamp Sutton C oo k a dd re6se d th e C o u r t, praying for judgment ; lie 'vas proceeding to say that he had been imprisoned for three months in consequence of being 'convicted of a•conspiracy against ,Sir George Jerningham (now, Lord.. Stafford), when he was in terrupted by the Lord Chief Justice, who said the Court could not attend to him to-day. This'being the last Special Paper Day, the Court has been oc cupied in bearing arguments in causes sent down from the Court tf Chancery for their opinion. This morning a most - calamitous ' fire broke out at the house of Mr. Cross, a furniture-broker; in Vere-street, Clare market, which, though trivial in appearance,. and confined to the Wilding in which it originated, has proved fatal in its conse quences to some-of the inmates. A . few Jninutes after one o'clock a dense' bOdy of smoke - was discovered issuing from the windows of each story, and immediate alarm being given, the inmates of the first and' third floor front rooms were, with much difficulty, .aroused from their shunbsr, and, at the most perilous risk of their lives, succeeded in escaping by the windows—those of the first floor by preciliitating themselves into the street, fortunately with out material injury ; and thbae of the third floor by being hauled over the parapet to the roof of the edjoining 'house by persons above. We are sorry to add, that three of: the unfortunate per sons inhabiting the back rooms fell victims to the suffocating. vapour which filled the house, before any assistance could be rendered theM. TwO children, a man anti a woman, were brought out by means of ladders, from the back of the premises ; the woman has been restored, and surgeons were endeavouring, but without hopes, to restore animation in the man, when our infor mant left. Thu children were quite dead. The fire originated in the cellar. Great credit is due to the watchmen and officers of , the parish, for their promptitude in giving alarm, and procuring the parish engines, four of which were almOst instantly on the spot, and had nearly succeeded in reducing the fire, when several of the larger engines also arrived. The duties on segars will be reduced 9s. out of 18s. in July. Some Papers, by mistake, said svars. A countryman named ADA.III§, with only one leg, was robbed of five sovereigns on Saturday maht. The poor fellow went into a carpenter'si shop, n .nent-street, to purchase a new wooden leg, ,the old. one being nearly worn out iu the service. While strapping on the - .new one, he was observed by some persons outside to transfer some sovereigns from the socket of the old Jeg into that of the new, and on his leaving the shop he was knocked down at a little di;;tance from it. The robbers experiencing some difficulty at getting the money from its place of concealment, pulled away the new wooden leg from the stump, leaving the poor countryman on the ground,' unableto follow them after depriving, him of his money and. his leg. Extract from a letter dated Batavia, December 18 : The affairs of this Government wear a gloomy aspect, their finances are in a distressed state owing to large debts, the amount of paper money in circulation being great, and little silver to be had, as you may suppose, when silver guilders range in the eeve• ral divisions of the Island at front 5.5 to 20 ; they are bought by this Government at 20 to 22 to pay their troops. The policy pursued dtiring the last five years by Government has brought this Colony to the verge of ruin (should rather say impolicy); the natives have discovered the weakness of the Dutch, and are taking advantage of it in many of their possessions. . . . In Java, the natives interior of JamarruThg have taken the field since the month of July, and this Government acknowledge that they have not power to put down this serious rebellion. Many soldiers have been sacrificed, and with no other effect than teaching the insurgents how to tight, to retreat, and value the Dutch power. —Their leaders are getting bolder every day. The Dutch forces are now compelled to remain inactive in their several fortresses. I shall not be in the least surprised to learn that the rebels have carried them all by storm, when the rains are passed. The ob ject the leaders of the insurrection have in view is to establish the native power—say the Sultan's dominions, independent of Euro pean controul. They have no disposition to make conquest of t!)e seacoast west of Cherilon. All is quiet ; and no fears are enter tained that it will not continue so. The following is an extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Mexico, dated 22d February By hi s Majesty's corvette Eclair, Captain Bouchier, which Arrived at San Bias on the Bth instant, having sailisi from Callao on the lst ult., we learn that Rodil still held out in the Castle, but was very short of provisions. Two days previous to the sailing of the Eclair, the,English flag, with the Union down, was hoisted on the prin cipal fort, and the Commander of the B i ritiih squadron had ap plied to the Peruvian Government in Lima, for permission to inquire the cause of such signal ; but no answer had been re ceived when this vessel was ordered to sea. I3olivar was in Po tosi, and all was quiet in the interior. An expedition had left Valparaiso to attack Chnoe; it was to call at Conception for more troops, which would, on the whole, amount to about 3,000 men. An English sloop of war arrived at Acapulco early this month, but we have not learnt her name, nor where she comes from." IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, MONDAY, APRIL 21. This being the day kept for his Majesty's birth-day, the house only met for judicial business. THE -LOVAT PEERAGE. The House issued an order to th e Scottish Judges going the Northern Circuit, to attend and examine the eged and infirm wit. nesses in the claim for the Lovat Peer^;e, to be reported to the House as soon as executed.----Ajourned.
